This week which builds on the first two weeks that you've navigated

through successfully so far, looks at how a manager can motivate their team.

All of us, to different extents,

work in organizational environments where we're asked to do more with less.

So in other words, get increased output from more restricted resources.

Our people are one of our key, if not the key, resource that we work with.

And aspects of how you as a manager or as manager one day,

motivate your team individually and

collectively is the focus of what we're going to explore this week.

Our objectives are, firstly, to discover how manager can motivate their team.

A second objective, you'll have the opportunity to review and

apply a range of motivational theories to the workplace.

So for example, you'll be looking at Herzberg.

You'll be looking at McGregor.

You'll be looking at Maslow.

And at each stage, as you've done in weeks one and week two, think about how theory,

how framework applies to your organizational world or

organizations with which you're familiar.

Our third objective is where you'll be looking to demonstrate an awareness

of the main reasons which inspire an employee to come to their workplace.

When a manager is looking to motivate an individual or team,

they clearly need to understand their drivers, and those drivers will both be

internal so inside the workplace and from outside the workplace.

So there's a complex combination of internal and external dynamics

which come together to help to formulate an individual's level of motivation.

Our next objective is going to be where you outline a range of techniques

which can motivate employees both individually and collectively.

It may be, in your role as a manager, you have individuals that work with you.

It may also be that you have teams that work with you, or a combination of both.

So therefore it's important that we look at

how you motivate individuals individually and collectively.

Final objective for this week is to

recognize any possible correlation between levels of motivation and

reward, appraisals and the prevailing workplace culture.

So in other words, is motivation something that you could look at in isolation?

And I suspect you'll discover probably not would be the answer there and

if the answer is probably not,

what are the other key factors that you need to consider?

And reward, appraisals, and the actual prevailing workplace culture,

are key areas that you'll look to contextualize.

When you progress through this week, there will be,

as they have been in the other two weeks, many sources you can access.

So there'll be videos to watch, there'll be resources to access,

there'll be questions to attempt, and there'll be a quiz for you to do as well.

So as you go through, please do take every opportunity to check your understanding,

to reinforce your learning, and if necessary, go through bits and

pieces again.

Because there's a lot we've got to cover, and the area of motivation both

in an individual and collective context is very very important as you look

to continue your role as a manager or embark on your managerial career.
